Destiny 2: All Season 16 Artifact Mods (Risen)

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen has arrived, and players are able to jump into the latest expansion and start unraveling the mysteries of Savathun’s Throne World and her Lucent Hive. With every new expansion also comes a new season, too; technically a separate venture. If you’re here, you’re probably wondering about what all Season 16’s artifact mods are in Destiny 2: Season of the Risen. Here’s the full list of Season 16 artifact mods.

Note: there’s a big change this season compared to others in Destiny 2. You can actually unlock every single artifact mod over time if you grind enough. You don’t have to pick and choose between a limited amount. You can still reset your artifact in case you want to pick different ones until you do unlock them all but, eventually, over time, you’ll be able to use whatever seasonal artifact mods you want.
